<VV> Drivetrain Compatability

[jvhroberts at aol.com]

1. You need an early bellhousing.
2. Yes.
3. You need an early (63 on back) input shaft.
4. Depends on what your definition of too steep is!! Should have lots 
of get up and go!

Oh wise ones. I seek your knowledge. I’m about to install a ’64 rear
suspension and ’64 differential into my ’63 daily-driver/track car. The
current drivetrain is the original 102 engine and 4-speed transmission. 
I’m
also going to be building a 140 late engine that I want to install in 
place
of the 102. Here are my questions:

   1. Do I use an early or late bellhousing?
   2. Will the ’64 diff. and ’63 tranny bolt right up?
   3. Will I be able to use the early clutch assembly and input shaft?
    4. Is a 3.89 rear end ratio too steep for a car that sees many miles 
at
   highway speeds?

Thanks so much in advance for helping.
